      ipv6: RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG causes inefficient TCP segment sizing · 67469601
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Quoting Tore Anderson from :
      https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42572
      
      When RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG is set on a route, the effective TCP segment
      size does not take into account the size of the IPv6 Fragmentation
      header that needs to be included in outbound packets, causing every
      transmitted TCP segment to be fragmented across two IPv6 packets, the
      latter of which will only contain 8 bytes of actual payload.
      
      RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG is typically set on a route in response to
      receving a ICMPv6 Packet Too Big message indicating a Path MTU of less
      than 1280 bytes. 1280 bytes is the minimum IPv6 MTU, however ICMPv6
      PTBs with MTU < 1280 are still valid, in particular when an IPv6
      packet is sent to an IPv4 destination through a stateless translator.
      Any ICMPv4 Need To Fragment packets originated from the IPv4 part of
      the path will be translated to ICMPv6 PTB which may then indicate an
      MTU of less than 1280.
      
      The Linux kernel refuses to reduce the effective MTU to anything below
      1280 bytes, instead it sets it to exactly 1280 bytes, and
      RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG is also set. However, the TCP segment size appears
      to be set to 1240 bytes (1280 Path MTU - 40 bytes of IPv6 header),
      instead of 1232 (additionally taking into account the 8 bytes required
      by the IPv6 Fragmentation extension header).
      
      This in turn results in rather inefficient transmission, as every
      transmitted TCP segment now is split in two fragments containing
      1232+8 bytes of payload.
      
      After this patch, all the outgoing packets that includes a
      Fragmentation header all are "atomic" or "non-fragmented" fragments,
      i.e., they both have Offset=0 and More Fragments=0.

      tcp: sk_add_backlog() is too agressive for TCP · da882c1f
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      While investigating TCP performance problems on 10Gb+ links, we found a
      tcp sender was dropping lot of incoming ACKS because of sk_rcvbuf limit
      in sk_add_backlog(), especially if receiver doesnt use GRO/LRO and sends
      one ACK every two MSS segments.
      
      A sender usually tweaks sk_sndbuf, but sk_rcvbuf stays at its default
      value (87380), allowing a too small backlog.
      
      A TCP ACK, even being small, can consume nearly same truesize space than
      outgoing packets. Using sk_rcvbuf + sk_sndbuf as a limit makes sense and
      is fast to compute.
      
      Performance results on netperf, single flow, receiver with disabled
      GRO/LRO : 7500 Mbits instead of 6050 Mbits, no more TCPBacklogDrop
      increments at sender.

      net: add a limit parameter to sk_add_backlog() · f545a38f
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      sk_add_backlog() & sk_rcvqueues_full() hard coded sk_rcvbuf as the
      memory limit. We need to make this limit a parameter for TCP use.
      
      No functional change expected in this patch, all callers still using the
      old sk_rcvbuf limit.

      ipv6: fix problem with expired dst cache · 1716a961
      Gao feng 提交于
      If the ipv6 dst cache which copy from the dst generated by ICMPV6 RA packet.
      this dst cache will not check expire because it has no RTF_EXPIRES flag.
      So this dst cache will always be used until the dst gc run.
      
      Change the struct dst_entry,add a union contains new pointer from and expires.
      When rt6_info.rt6i_flags has no RTF_EXPIRES flag,the dst.expires has no use.
      we can use this field to point to where the dst cache copy from.
      The dst.from is only used in IPV6.
      
      rt6_check_expired check if rt6_info.dst.from is expired.
      
      ip6_rt_copy only set dst.from when the ort has flag RTF_ADDRCONF
      and RTF_DEFAULT.then hold the ort.
      
      ip6_dst_destroy release the ort.
      
      Add some functions to operate the RTF_EXPIRES flag and expires(from) together.
      and change the code to use these new adding functions.
      
      Changes from v5:
      modify ip6_route_add and ndisc_router_discovery to use new adding functions.
      
      Only set dst.from when the ort has flag RTF_ADDRCONF
      and RTF_DEFAULT.then hold the ort.
